Is there a way to change number formats to show fractions and partial fractions?

For example:

100.03125 = 100-1/32
100.046875 = 100-1.5/32

I want them to show up like this:
100-01
100-014

Or as
100-1/32
100-1.5/32

Bond prices are shown in the following format in the market:
First digit is 32nds, 2nd digit is 8ths.

Which would be saying 100.03125 is =100+132 and 100.046875 is =100+1.5/32
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
I don't think you can get 100-1.5/32, but you can get 100-3/64 by custom formatting as "#-?/??" (without the quotes).
